Bug Description

When playing mkv video containing two sound tracks and trying to change file position or sound track sound disappears or appears randomly. For example after changing track it`s needed to change position some times in order to return sound. Vlc manages such files easily, including track and/or position jumps. This bug appears in a lot of files. I don`t know exectly what more info to produce, ask me at <email address hidden> if needed.

This bug is an upstream one and it would be quite helpful if somebody experiencing it could send the bug the to the people writing the software. You can learn more about how to do this for various upstreams at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. Thanks in advance!

Please test with the Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" alpha 3 Live CD. After booting, and before testing, please use Synaptic Package Manager to upgrade Totem and the gstreamer packages, in particular the update of gstreamer0.10-plugins-good to 0.10.24.3-1ubuntu1

There is another mkv seeking fix in GStreamer Good Plug-ins 0.10.25. From the release notes:

That last one has a GNOME bug number - the corresponding bug report is at:

They don't seem to have included the bug reference (if there was one) for the local file case.

Please test with the Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" beta CD. After booting, and before testing, please use Synaptic Package Manager to upgrade Totem and the gstreamer packages, in particular the update of gstreamer0.10-plugins-good to 0.10.25-4ubuntu1

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you test in the latest release of Ubuntu Natty Narwhal and check if is still affecting you? Thank you
